Product details
Overview
SS1F4-M3/I from Vishay General Semiconductor is a surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in the eSMP® Series, configured as a single diode with 40 V reverse voltage rating, 1.0 A average forward current, and 0.37 V forward voltage at 1.0 A and 125 °C - used for polarity protection and freewheeling in DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the SS1F4-M3/I datasheet, SS1F4-M3/I pinout, SS1F4-M3/I application, or SS1F4-M3/I equivalent, key selection factors include its low VF (0.37 V @ 125 °C), AEC-Q101-qualified variant availability, SOD-123W-compatible SMF (DO-219AB) package, and 125 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on FR4 PCB.
Technical Context
The SS1F4-M3/I implements a planar Schottky junction optimized for high-frequency switching in power conversion circuits. It delivers low conduction loss via 0.37 V VF at 1.0 A and 125 °C, and supports surge currents up to 40 A (8.3 ms half-sine) without thermal runaway.
Its SMF (DO-219AB) package features matte tin-plated terminals compliant with J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, and achieves UL 94 V-0 flammability rating - enabling wave and reflow soldering in automotive and industrial assembly lines.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets safe operating limit in polarity protection and flyback clamp applications |
| IF(AV) | 1.0 A - average forward current under specified thermal conditions; defines continuous DC load capability on standard FR4 layout |
| VF @ 1.0 A, 125 °C | 0.37 V - low forward drop reduces conduction loss and self-heating in high-duty-cycle DC/DC stages |
| IFSM | 40 A - peak surge current handling for transient energy absorption during startup or fault events |
| TJ max (DC) | 175 °C - maximum junction temperature under DC forward bias; enables operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| RθJA | 125 °C/W - thermal resistance from junction to ambient on standard FR4 footprint; informs heatsinking requirements |
| CJ @ 4 V, 1 MHz | 85 pF - low junction capacitance minimizes switching losses and EMI in high-frequency inverters |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS14-M3/5AT | Same 40 V VRRM and 1.0 A IF(AV), but VF = 0.52 V @ 1.0 A, 25 °C; larger SOD-123 package; no AEC-Q101 option | Higher conduction loss at room temperature; less suitable for thermally constrained automotive modules | Select SS14-M3/5AT only if legacy SOD-123 footprint compatibility is required and thermal margin is ample |
| SB140-TB | 40 V VRRM, 1.0 A IF(AV), VF = 0.55 V @ 1.0 A, 25 °C; TO-277A package; higher RθJA (~150 °C/W) | Higher thermal resistance and forward drop reduce efficiency in high-density layouts | Prefer SB140-TB only where through-hole or larger surface-mount mounting is mandated by mechanical constraints |
Compared with SS14-M3/5AT and SB140-TB, the SS1F4-M3/I delivers superior thermal performance (125 °C/W), lower VF at elevated temperature (0.37 V @ 125 °C), and optional AEC-Q101 qualification - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency automotive and industrial power stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for SS1F4-M3/I under DC forward current?
The SS1F4-M3/I has a maximum junction temperature of 175 °C under DC forward current conditions, as confirmed in the Vishay datasheet Document Number 87729. This rating allows reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and high-temperature industrial enclosures. The SS1F4-M3/I maintains stable electrical characteristics up to this limit when mounted on the recommended copper pad area per Figure 1 derating curve.
Is SS1F4-M3/I qualified for automotive applications?
The SS1F4-M3/I itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, the automotive-grade variant SS1F4HM3/I is fully qualified per AEC-Q101. Both share identical electrical and thermal specifications, with HM3 denoting halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction plus stress testing for automotive reliability. For automotive designs, SS1F4HM3/I is the recommended ordering option.
What does the "I" suffix mean in SS1F4-M3/I?
The "I" suffix in SS1F4-M3/I specifies the packaging configuration: 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, containing 10,000 units per reel. This contrasts with the "H" suffix (7-inch reel, 3,000 units), and both use the same M3 halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction. The "I" format supports high-volume automated assembly lines requiring extended reel life.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of SS1F4-M3/I on a standard PCB?
The SS1F4-M3/I exhibits a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 125 °C/W when mounted on a standard FR4 PCB with the recommended copper pad area, as measured per JEDEC test conditions. This value assumes 2 oz. copper and is critical for calculating allowable power dissipation in thermally constrained layouts without forced airflow or heatsinks.
Does SS1F4-M3/I have a defined pinout or polarity marking?
Yes - the SS1F4-M3/I uses a two-terminal SMF (DO-219AB) package with unambiguous polarity: a color band on the cathode end identifies the cathode terminal, while the opposite end is the anode. This marking is visible in top-view diagrams in the Vishay datasheet and aligns with industry-standard Schottky diode orientation for automated optical inspection and placement verification.
